Today you will be creating an Animoto at www.animoto.com

If you're not sure how to use Animoto, go to the website above, create an account and watch the video tutorial (it's only about a minute long).

Your Animoto will be a visual representation of the Main Idea of //The Crisis//. In other words, look at the Main Idea of "The Crisis" which you wrote last night on an APPARTS chart and convert it into short pieces of text and pictures to represent the Main Idea.

DO NOT CLICK PRODUCE...yet. You'll have a chance to revise your videos before you produce them, but you can't edit them once you hit produce.

The pictures that you use do not need to be antique...you want to make sure you use METAPHORICAL pictures to represent your main idea. Pictures are symbols that you can use to help describe your text.

Be sure to only make a 30 second free Animoto!!!

At 9:15 we will all be sharing our animotos with a few classmates
